UA Engineering Senior Design Day

Monday, May 1, 2017 - 11:00am to 2:30pm

Every year, the University of Arizona’s College of Engineering has a senior design day where interdisciplinary teams of four to six seniors collaborate on industry-sponsored projects as part of the Design Program. Seniors work for a year as a team to Explore, Design, and Test their solution. Teams can be awarded grants, scholarships, and other prizes for their ingenuity and products. It is a great place to show students how what they are doing in middle and high school translates to the university level.

This year, a MESA alum will be part of a team presenting their design of a Patient Isolation and Transportation System (P.I.T.S.). Peter Quach is an Amphitheater High School alum, class of 2013, who is studying electrical and computer engineering. The P.I.T.S. is a solution for transporting patients who are infected with diseases like Ebola to hospitals for treatment without exposing more people either through the air or fluids.
